A total of seven people were injured in central and northern Israel due to falling missile debris, including one from Tel Aviv.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has accused the government of failing in security and said that there is a severe shortage of soldiers in the country.
What will be the impact of this war on Gulf countries and trade?
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) have launched new drone attacks on US-linked targets in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, which has stopped the movement of ships for America’s and Israel’s allies. Saudi Arabia is pressurizing America to continue attacking Iran. US President Donald Trump has currently postponed the attacks on Iran’s energy plants till April 6. Israel has warned the people of southern Lebanon to evacuate areas south of the Zahrani River.
What is the biggest concern for migrants and common people?
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and drone attacks in the Gulf countries can have a major impact on the supply chain due to which goods of daily needs are likely to become expensive. The security situation for Indians and other expatriates living in the Gulf countries has become critical as the war is now spreading to many countries. Israel now feels the need for more troops to create a ‘buffer zone’ against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, making it clear that the war may escalate in the coming days.
